Energy efficiency

The influence of building automation and building management is described in DIN EN ISO 52120-1:2019-12.

This DIN EN ISO 52120 standard contains a structured list of building automation and technical building management functions that have an impact on the energy efficiency of buildings.

The functions of DIN EN ISO 52120 are categorized and listed in a structured manner according to technical systems and so-called Building Automation and Control (BAC) functions.

A factor-based method makes it easy to estimate the impact of these BA functions on the overall energy efficiency of a building. The application of this simplified procedure shows that energy savings of 30% are possible using the methods listed therein.

TwinCAT 3 Building Automation offers functions as described in DIN EN ISO 52120.

This makes it possible to estimate the potential energy savings through the use of plant and room automation with TwinCAT 3 Building Automation. Templates for plant and room functions in TF8040 facilitate the planning, execution and subsequent operation of buildings.

An essential prerequisite for the implementation of an energy efficient and sustainable building automation system is the integration of the building automation system. Plant and room automation with all its technical systems must be integrated into one system. The templates from TF8040 TwinCAT 3 Building Automation implement the energy efficiency functions described in the DIN EN ISO 52120 standard.
